Hi All. Is 250$ too much for hand-fed Linnies?
I fell in love with 2 at Magnolia Bird Farm today. There were 8 in a windowed cage. My hubby had sticker shock! They were extremely busy in the store so I was not able to hold one.

But 2 of them blinked and cooed at my finger. I will just get one. I saw quite a few of them on YouTube yesterday getting along well with American Keets. I know I would need a seperate cage for her. The clerk said the one I was looking at was a girl. (less dark markings on the tail) And unlike American Keets; the sex does not matter how they will tame.
I am posting a link to a picture and a story of some beautiful Linnies Cracker and Peanut. The ones I saw were all the same turquoise as in the photo of these 2.
